Proxy for Orbitz

Go to "Control Panel" and in "Small icons" mode, find the item "Browser properties", aka "Internet Options". In the "Connection" tab, click on "Network Settings", and then leave the item "Automatic detection of parameters" enabled in the window that opens, and disable everything else.

The easiest option is to use ready-made online proxy checkers. For example, Hidemy.name, which shows the type of protocol used. Or you can simply run Speedtest - this will show you the bandwidth and response speed (ping).

Chromium does not support proxies in-house. There is a corresponding item in the menu, but clicking on it will open the regular proxy server settings in Windows or MacOS.

To hide the Chrome browser during Selenium C# tests, you can use the --headless flag when initializing the ChromeDriver. The --headless flag runs Chrome in headless mode, which means it will run in the background without a visible user interface.

Here's an example of how to set up a headless Chrome browser using Selenium C#:

First, install the necessary NuGet packages for Selenium WebDriver and ChromeDriver:

Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome
Install-Package OpenQA.Selenium.WebDriver

Then, create a new C# class for your Selenium test, for example, HeadlessChromeExample.cs.

Write the test code:

using OpenQA.Selenium;
using OpenQA.Selenium.Chrome;
using System;

namespace HeadlessChromeExample
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            // Set the path to the ChromeDriver executable
            string driverPath = "/path/to/chromedriver";

            // Create a new instance of the ChromeDriver with the --headless flag
            IWebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(driverPath, new ChromeOptions()
            {
                // Set the headless mode to true
                Headless = true
            });

            // Navigate to the webpage
            driver.Navigate().GoToUrl("http://example.com");

            // Perform your test actions here

            // Close the WebDriver instance
            driver.Quit();
        }
    }
}

Run the test:

You can run your test using your preferred C# IDE or by using the command line. If you're using a console application, you can run the test by pressing Ctrl + F5.

This should help you set up a headless Chrome browser using Selenium C# and execute your test without the browser being visible. Make sure to replace "/path/to/chromedriver" with the actual path to your ChromeDriver executable and "http://example.com" with the URL of the webpage you want to test.

XEvil is a captcha recognition software, and using it with Python involves interacting with the XEvil API. Typically, XEvil provides a DLL library, and you need to make API calls to it. However, note that XEvil is a third-party commercial product, and you should have the necessary license to use it.

Here is a basic outline of how you might interact with XEvil 4.0 from Python:

Download and Install XEvil 4.0:
Ensure you have a valid license for XEvil.
Download and install XEvil on your machine.

Identify XEvil API Documentation:
Refer to the documentation provided with XEvil, specifically the API documentation. This will guide you on how to make API calls to XEvil.

Make API Calls from Python:
Python does not have a direct interface for XEvil, so you might need to use an intermediary method, such as calling XEvil from the command line or using a wrapper library.
Example using subprocess to call XEvil from the command line:

import subprocess

def solve_captcha(image_path):
    command = ["path/to/xevil.exe", "-solve", image_path]
    result = subprocess.run(command, capture_output=True, text=True)
    return result.stdout.strip()

captcha_result = solve_captcha("path/to/captcha_image.png")
print("Captcha Result:", captcha_result)

Handle Captcha Results:
The result from XEvil will typically be a string containing the recognized captcha text or some indication of success or failure.
Your Python script can then use this result as needed, for example, to submit a form with the recognized captcha.
